Absolutely awesome!!! - Celebrated my birthday with my brother by trying Scuba Diving and I gotta say I absolutely loved it! The staff was really nice. Debated on which tour operator to book the activity with at first but i’m so glad we booked with Scuba Dogs because they are the ones that have the dive shop and bathrooms with lockers, the others didnt have facilities! Our guide Paco was amazing, he was so patient and explained everything very well before our dive which made us feel very safe! We loved it so much we are getting scuba certified with them !!

Perfect way to try scuba - We had a party of 8 with 4 children ranging from 10-13 years old. Dale and Paco held a class and safety briefing and then we had an open water check off before diving around 20 feet down. They paid such close attention to the kids and were understanding when two of them decided they didn't want to try it any longer. It was the perfect environment and price point to have your kids see if they like scuba. As a mother, I felt very safe with them watching over us. We would definitely dive with them again.

Truly awesome Dive experience - Cant say enough about Scuba Dogs and the great Dive Instructors and their top notch facilities at Escambron marine park. Did the discovery dive with my niece and her 2 kids and had an amazing time. The instructor took his time reviewing the fundamentals and did the same in the water. He put everyone at ease and after he felt everyone was comfortable went out and saw a bunch of beautiful and colorful fish and even turtles! To really appreciate all the beauty of PR you also need to see it underwater, and you can’t go wrong with Scuba Dogs.

Get Open Water Scuba Certified! - It was an amazing experience. I was nervous at first, but the instructor (Paco) made the environment very relaxing. There are so many things to see underwater too! Turtles, fishes, squid, octopus and more! I definitely recommend going!!
